noring and belittling the Bible, are some of the
p:ractises once ins:sted upon by our English an-o
~estors. The first Bible printed in Scotland was
issued complete in 1579. In the same year, by
act of Parliament, every well-to-do. householder
was compelled, under penalty of" £10, to pro­vide
a Bible for the use of his household, "that
their families might be instru~ted: in the "knowl"
-ecige of God.' 'Then, to·lIlake:SlB:rrCQ~~~at;~i'e;il1ro1n

the following year, a "searcher" was appointed,
with pOW<3r to visit the houses, to see that due
obedience was rendered to the decision. Our
English forefathers may have been a little rad- .
ical in insisting on this compulsory installa­tion
of the Bible, and yet one can not help but
wish that there might be a greater zeal, on the
part of every family today, to make the Bible,.
in connection with the family altar, a special
feature of the home.

Costa Rica, and that several hlmdred people •

thousand people have been killed and the whole
of Costa Rica is shaking from coast to coast. To
make the calamity greater, two volcanoes are
belching forth fire and lava, and a dark, brown
dust is settling over all the country. The peo­ple
of Oartago rushed from the ci ty at the first
quake and huddled together in any kind of

THOUGHTS FOR THE STILL HOUR.
We grow to be iike the things we love.
However humble may be your station in life,
if you will love God fervently, the world will bE)
better by you having lived in it.
The more capable the soul is of enjoying God,
the more capable it is of suffering with man.
Weshoud so live that we can cheerfully run
into the arms of God any moment he calls for us.
To he. anythlng less than' you profess to be is
a' dangerous thing." ,"
Gbd is pleased with us only 'when we are;
growing· to be more ,·like him;
.iHe who feel~ alid acts like lie has done enough'
fop' god· doegi'not kn~w God.' .,
" ~Tb:8r"'lwe,omay;·1:je;p'e'feet~iD.love·we; must 'allow
n0th~g,'tiO: c~e.between· ~sand God.
a Faith digged a grave in tranquil ?nood,
In the task Hope had her share;
Love lowered the casket, placed the sad;
'Twas the burial of Mr. Care. JJ
God looks not at the greatness of the deed,
but the motive in which it was done.
No act, hO'vvever sman, if done in love to God,
but goes down in the great system of the Master
Architect there to stand forever.
There is never a holy thought or aspiration
lost. Everyone makes us more like God.

"WHO SHALL ROLL US AWAY THE STONE
'FROM THE DOOR· OF THE SEPULCHRE~"
BY JENNIE M. BYERS •
Just as the sisters were perplexed, and were
questioning among themselves about the seem­ing
difficulty in the .way, so we often are when
in tr'lial· or distress, and often forget, for the
time, that the great compassionate God still is
on the throne and rules the world, and has
legions of angels at his command.
In our times of trial and. distress the stone
seems very large, and it seems impossible for us­to
remove it; and weare very apt to look at our
own strength, or the circumstances around us,
a:q.d overlook the promise, "All things are pos­sible
to him that believeth," and, "With God
nothing shall be impossible."
Many times after we have taken much anxious
thought, and, possibly, many prayers and tears,
we settle down to trust, and, when OUl' eyes are
dried from our tears and we are quiet and trust­ful,
we are astonished to see the stone rolled 'a­way.
Many times, too, the stones of trials,d of
diffculties were only imaginary, and when we
came to ourselves, it was nothing in comparison
to the picture in our minds. Many times, too, we
want the stone removed before 'its time, and we
worry because it does not disappear, when if we
trusted and waited, the angel would remove it in
time, that when we came to the time. and place, all
difficulties would be gone.
Oh, how necessary it is to trust God in every
trial and circumstance in life, and to lean hard
on him, . knowing he does all things well, and
take the circumstances in Hfe as they come,
knowing he is in them· or will be by the time
they come to his trusting children. I am so
glad he is in everything, and that he orders,
eith~r directly '¢ormdireetly, every detail ot our
lives~ .
